I keep getting calls from an unlisted number...what to do?

Question

I get about 8-10 calls a day from an unlisted number. When I pick up, nobody is there and then the call ends. I tried calling my phone company to see if I could do anything about it, but I they couldn't do anything. Any suggestions.

Answer 1

If you want there is a thing called Privacy manager it's a service that the caller has to give the incoming number or there name or the call will not go thru..i think It cost like $3.99

Answer 2

I am a phone persons worst nightmare!!!!! I have a whistle and blow it really hard and long into the phone!!!!! Another thing that I do is just start banging the phone on a hard area like a counter top and just give them a taste of their own medicine. I have also been known to call them a few choice words if you get my drift.
Then again - just put the phone down when they call and when they realize that you are not reacting, they (hopefully) will leave you alone.
Hope this helps. They things ( the so called callers) are so annoying!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 3

look in front of your phone book, read thru the pages
there should be a number that you push to have the
call traced to the police department. Before I found
that I used to answer Police Department - Non Emergency
How can I help you and the calls stopped.
Now I just have Call Block thru my phone company
which callers have to unblock their numbers to call.

Answer 4

Look on your caller ID and if it's unlisted, just don't pick up the phone, or pick it up for a second and then hang up.

Answer 5

Call the police. Report telephone harassment. They will require the phone company to monitor your line and determine the source of the incoming calls.

Answer 6

you can either block them (if its a cell phone)
or you can put yourself on a do not call list....you can call the company and tell them to stop calling you...my friend also says theres a site where you can put your number, so no salespeople call you. its: www.donotcall.gov
